Patent and Design Support Services

Ade & Company has an extensive database system dedicated to the docketing and payment of patent maintenance fees on various patent and design matters in USA and Canada. We attend to payment of maintenance fees at the Canadian and United States Patent Office directly to avoid the unnecessary costs of hiring any intermediate firms and to avoid any miscommunications by having unnecessary persons involved. Accordingly, we have found our rates to be often much less than many of our competitors.

Furthermore, Ade & Company Inc. has resources to obtain copies of patent documents from many countries, including copies of Patents, Designs, Pending Applications, File Histories, and Certified Copies for priority purposes.
